Clear The Continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) And Reset The Emission Monitors Information in The Powertrain Control Module (PCM): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The clearing of continuous DTCs allows the scan tool to command the PCM to clear and reset all emission-related diagnostic information. Clearing the DTCs from the vehicle-specific continuous memory DTC menu clears all systems, including the OBD systems. Clearing the DTCs from the OBD generic menu only clears OBD features.
